According to feedback from players who have first experienced Mario Kart: World, this racing game map, which is an escort for Switch2, is much larger than expected, especially compared to Forza Horizon 5 and other games with big maps.
This time, Mario Kart: World has made an innovation in its gameplay, abandoning the previous method of matching independent map competitions, and instead using a seamless link without loading.On this large map each track is linked by roads and highways.The events are scattered throughout the vast map, and players can explore freely between competitions, looking for collections, tasks, challenges and other content, similar to "Forza: Horizon 5".
When foreign media were playing Mario Kart: World in advance, they calculated that the time required to travel through the entire map was between 9-10 minutes. Compared with other games, it takes 6 minutes to drive through the map of Forza Horizon 5, and in "Give Him Love 5", it takes 8 minutes to drive through the map quickly using roads and highways.It takes 16 minutes in Ubisoft's "Courtesy God: The Roaring Ceremony".
Of course, the map size cannot be compared so simply. After all, each game has different design focus, different travel methods, and different construction components. Only a general evaluation is made here.However, this time, Mario Kart: World maintains Nintendo's consistent design idea, will be filled with hundreds of collections, tasks, challenges and branches in the map, ensuring the player's play time.
